Global e-commerce platform Amazon has launched the Amazon Bazaar app in the Philippines which is expected to offer ‘hundreds of thousands’ of affordable products across fashion, home, and lifestyle categories to customers.
In a statement on Thursday, the e-commerce platform noted it launched this app in 14 countries following a positive response from customers shopping ‘Amazon Haul’ in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Australia; and Amazon Bazaar in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The Amazon Bazaar, which is the e-commerce platform’s new standalone shopping app, is available in 14 destinations: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nigeria, and now, the Philippines.
‘The Amazon Bazaar app, part of the global Amazon Haul shopping experience, brings hundreds of thousands of affordable products directly to customers. Both Amazon Haul and Amazon Bazaar deliver the same ultra-low-price shopping experience, with different names chosen to better resonate with local language preferences and cultures,’ Amazon said.
The global e-commerce platform noted that customers can use their existing Amazon credentials or create new accounts.
Meanwhile, most of the items found on Amazon Bazaar app cost as low as P120 to as high as P600.
‘New customers receive 50 percent off their first order, and all customers enjoy extra savings as they build their carts.’
Moreover, free delivery applies when orders reach P280, with a standard delivery charge for small orders.
‘Deliveries typically arrive in two weeks or less. Amazon’s 24/7 multilingual customer support team assists shoppers whenever needed,’ the e-commerce platform said.
Amazon said all products on Amazon Bazaar undergo the e-commerce company’s ‘rigorous compliance checks.’
‘Customers can shop with confidence knowing they will receive items that are safe and meet all applicable regulations and Amazon policies. Returns are free when requested within 15 days of receipt,’ it noted.
Payment options include internationally accepted Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards.
The Amazon Bazaar app is available for download on local iOS and Android app stores in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, Peru, Ecuador, Jamaica, Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.
Customers in the Philippines can visit their local iOS or Android app store to download the app and start shopping today, the e-commerce platform said.
